He had almost lost her
Lost her forever
To an uncontrollable force
Where he had no control.
He was sleeping
She was in slumber
It sneaked in with a vengance
It woke her with trembling.
Screams came from within
Deep in her loins
Fear took over
Freezing her in mind.
A call from a neighbor
Who was startled a wake
Soon the block was lit up
Light bursting as day.
Men breaking glass
Ripping holes in the roof
Ladders were erected
She was rescued.

Hi Terry,
This is great wordplay. I however remain intrigued by the aspect of ” uncontrollable force” envisaged by you.

I am also curious about the “uncontrollable force” you wrote about. I loved the action you wove into the story at the end. I was a little dissapointed that the poem ended so abruptly. You had me hanging on to the story and what was to happen! 😛 Thanks for contributing this week. 🙂

Very concise and descriptive. I thought it was a fire, so I’m glad I guessed right.
